- Best Orange Juice Company is located in Oman. The cost function for total orange juice production (x) is given by C(q) = 0.25x2. Their orange juice is demanded only in Muscat (Muscat demand is xm= 100-2Pm) and Salalah (Salalah demand is xs= 100-4Ps). Therefore, the total demand is x=xm+ xs. If the company can control the quantities supplied to each market, how many should it sell in each location to maximize total profits? What price would it charge in each location?A company manufacturing laundry sinks has fixed costs of $100 per day but has total costs of $2,500 per day when producing 15 sinks. The company has a daily demand function of q = 360 − p, where q is the number if laundry sinks demanded and p is te price of a laundry sink. (d) How many laundry sinks will the company need to produce in order to maximise it′s profits?A firm's demand function is Q = 16 – P and its total cost function is defined as TC = 3 + Q + 0.25Q2. Use these two functions to form the firm's profit function and then determine the level of output that yields the profit maximum. What is the level of profit at the optimum? Note: MC = 1 + 0.5Q
- Q 1. (B) A firm's demand function is Q = 16 - P and its total cost function is defined as TC = 3 + Q + 0.25Q2 Use these two functions to form the firm's profit function and then determine the level of output that yields the profit maximum. What is the level of profit at the optimum?A firm manufactures two goods labeled 1 and 2. It sells Qi items of good i for a fixed price per unit of pi. The total cost of producing good i is ciQi2.Explain briefly why the profit function is given byπ(Q1, Q2) = p1Q1 + p2Q2 − c1Q12 − c2Q22Find the values of Q1 and Q2 which maximize π and verify that the second-order conditions for a maximum are satisfied. Find an expression for the maximum profit.A firm's demand and total cost function are given by the expression: P = 20 - Q/2 (1) TC = 0.5Q2 + 36 (2) Where P is price per unit in £ TC = total cost in £ Q is quantity demanded and produced. Find the profit-maximising level of output using the profit function and calculate how much profit is made at this output level.
- The demand and total profit function, P(x) for rooms in a hotel are given as follows. 3x = 600 - P P(x) = 450x – 3.5x2 - 4000 Where p is the price in ringgit per room and x is the quantity of room rented. Determine the marginal cost when 2 rooms are rentedThe demand function for a good is given by the equation P= 50 – 2Q, while total cost is given by TC = 160 + 2Q Write down the equation for the total revenue. Write down the equation for the profit. Find the value of Q when the firm breaks even.A firm has a linear demand function for its product. When the price of the product isSh.220, the quantity demanded is 40 units. When the price increases to Sh.240, thequantity demanded becomes 30 units. In addition, the firm’s marginal cost function isgiven by:MC = 40q – 2q2 + 2Fixed cost = Sh.5 millionWhere q = quantity demanded, MC = marginal cost (Sh. million)Evaluate the level of output that maximizes profits.
